How to get the 360 controller working 100%

Post » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:11 pm

Well, my Oblivion.pro is configured for the 360 controller, which is why it won't work for your PS2 controller. Try this:

Go into control panel. Click on game controllers, and click on the one you want to use, and go to properties. You'll have to find out which buttons on the controller are on an axis, which axis, etc. The triggers might be on an axis, or they might be on a button.

The X/Y axis will be the same though (I think), so X- is A, Y- is S, and so on. I have another controller similar to a PS2 controller, and it had a Z axis on the right thumb stick. That might be called Z rotation, you'll have to set it up so that X - Rotation is set at move mouse X neg, etc. Fiddle with Control MK, you'll be able to get the hang of it.

Sorry I can't give you more help. I might hook up the controller I spoke of, but I think it doesn't work or something...

Edit: Turns out it did work. I'm thinking it might need the same configuration as the PS2 controller, because it looks like one, and also has a Z axis for the thumbstick, like you mentioned. Anyway, give it a shot. Put it in the same folder as Control MK, and remember to leave control MK open. Select the profile from the third drop down box, remember to make sure that your controller is in the first two boxes.

Fingers crossed. :)

Does the 360 controller work for other pc games?


If so, did you set it up the same way as for Oblivion? Using the Control MK file and RapidShare?


I'm thinking of buying Battlefield 2141 after I beat Oblivion.

Yeah, it can work with any other game. Just use control MK, and make a new profile with it. The profile downloaded from Rapidshare should of had the buttons set correctly in it for Oblivion, I don't know why yours didn't,,, :(. Anyway, it will work, you just have to set the buttons correctly. Nice and easy once you get the hang of it.

Jordash, that seems to be a common problem, but I believe it's a problem with the controller itself. In Control MK, I can't see anything that might cause such a problem. Sorry.

Thanks I can understand how it could be the controller but It works fine with games that support it like Madden and Rayman Raving Rabbids. I tried the previous two versions of control MK and its the same thing. Its as though the controller is telling your pc its stuck. Well svcks to be me.

Hmm, so it must be a fault of Control MK maybe. I'll have a look for a solution. There might be a different program that could be used, Joy2key maybe...

So you were right the anolog doesnt center itself 0,0 it hang to the right just a little bit. So the real problem is the sensitivity of the anologs because it works fine on anything else. Its there some way to change that and get a little play to them? Ima try that program you suggested and work from there.

OK I have the fix. On the bottom of ContolMK in joystix settings DeadZone is where you get your play. I set mine to 20 and it works perfect. So test it at 20 and if it still doesnt work keep going up until it works.

Hey demonofdeath if you ever revise your tutorial make a note of that. And thanks alot for your help!!

I've tried downloading the Oblivion.pro file from rapidshare about 9 or 10 times with Firefox and IE and I get this error message every single time:

Download-session invalid. Please click here.

Possible reasons:

Download-session expired. Direct-links last a few minutes for free users.
You requested this download-session from a different IP than yours. If you use AOL, try a different browser.
If nothing helps, getting a premium-account will override the IP-check, which means it will solve this problem.

I got it working, but I don't like it at all.

How do I remap the controls? I find the way they are set up is absolutely terrible and I just can't play like this.

Left trigger is attack, pressing on the left stick opens the menu, right trigger apparently does nothing, etc. I just can't deal with controls like these! Please somebody help.

In controll MK you'll see a bunch of buttons labeled things like "button 0" or " X axis +" just click those and choose what keyboard/mouse button will corespond with the controller button.

Thanks, I've got it mostly set up how I want it now. :^)

I don't know how to set the Start button as Escape, though. In Control MK, which button is Start?

Also, I'm having a huge problem that makes the game unplayable with the controller while I'm in menus (and it's damn annoying everywhere else too). The cursor continues to move in a left or right direction after I release the stick. Is there any way to fix this?

I think you need the wired controller. I got the 360 Windows controller. It's been working just fine.

The problem with the wireless is the receiver. For the 360, the receiver is in the console. The PC doesn't have that.

You can but its set up so you cant sneak slowly. Which is what you have to do to build up your sneak with out giving yourself away.

You have to use a wired controller...
You can get the drivers http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/DownloadResult.aspx?prod=pk_xbox_cont&os=xp&lang=en&driverVersion=Download%20XBox%20360%20Controller%20for%20Windows...

These are the default ini settings, use them if you want to walk/run without having to hit a button to toggle between them. This causes a problem with the diagonal movement. As far as I know there isn't a fix. That's why I set them all to zero and set a toggle button. Works much better. You can try and adjust these settings to see if you can make it work better. Oblivion just isn't really compatible with the controller, that's why it's better to completely rely on control mk.


;X = 1, Y = 2, Z = 3, XRot = 4, YRot = 5, ZRot = 6
iJoystickMoveFrontBack=2
iJoystickMoveLeftRight=1
fJoystickMoveFBMult=1.0000
fJoystickMoveLRMult=1.0000
iJoystickLookUpDown=6
iJoystickLookLeftRight=3
fJoystickLookUDMult=0.0020
fJoystickLookLRMult=0.0020

Bycote, the button configuration is on the first page, post #18

From the first post, step 5

Quite an important part: you should see a few boxes towards the bottom of the Control MK screen. One should say 'DeadZone'. Make the number 20 instead of 10. Remember to click apply, then save. Thanks to Jordash for that!

This will fix the mouse problem...

Here is the perfect config Ive found:

;X = 1, Y = 2, Z = 3, XRot = 4, YRot = 5, ZRot = 6
iJoystickMoveFrontBack=2
iJoystickMoveLeftRight=1
fJoystickMoveFBMult=0.5000
fJoystickMoveLRMult=0.5000
iJoystickLookUpDown=0
iJoystickLookLeftRight=0
fJoystickLookUDMult=0.5000
fJoystickLookLRMult=0.5000

To adjust the speed for looking around go to options and set the sensitivity for the mouse. This is also an addition to the fix for constant moving during game play.

Bycote, I don't understand how that happened, but in the first post, I have put in some more instructions
(the full control configuration), and I'm not using that file any more, since, like Cochese said, it's confusing a lot of people. Thanks Cochese for that suggestion.

Jordash, what does that config do/change?

the main problem I was having with the logitech controller is with the right thumbstick. in controlMK i dont see the x and y rotation only "Z axis" and "Z Rotation". Does anyone know what settings to apply to the "Z" axis?

The first thing I found is that the Deadzone doesnt fix the anolog "in" the game. It does fix it for the use of a cursor. Its a final fix for that. Second It fixes movement, giving you pressure sensitive movement as the Xbox 360 version gives. Basically You can sneak with a tap and walk faster as you move the left anolog stick. Was wondering if you could help me with setting the rest of the buttons as the 360 version is.
? Directional pad hotkeys
? left thumb stick move or (button) toggle sneak mode
? right thumb stick look, turn, (button) toggle first or third person view
? A-button activate
? B-button journal
? X-button ready weapon or torch
? Y-button jump
? left bumper grab
? right bumper cast
? left trigger block
? right trigger attack
? start-button pause menu
? back-button wait
Is it possible to set the A button to accept instead of the the right trigger? Another one is the left anolog button is the pause menu. I cant seem to change that to just sneak.

Alright sounding good. I haven't played Oblivion recently so I haven't tried this out, but I'll give it a shot ASAP.

smignogna: The Z axis is usually the right thumbstick for Logitech controllers, so try changing it to this:

Mouse move X neg
Mouse move X pos
Mouse move Y neg
Mouse move Y pos

In that order. Hopefully it works.

Bycote: Glad it worked for you, sorry about the trouble with the file.

Jordash: I'll try out that ini config you had, it sounds good. I assume that takes over control of the left thumbstick, so I'll have to remove the left thumbstick settings from Control MK? I don't know why sneak isn't working, I'll have a look into it. I don't think A can be used to accept topics and stuff in discussion, because the right trigger emulates the left click, which is attack, but also accept. There might be a way, but I haven't had the time to fiddle with it recently.

Jordash, I have already mapped out the entire 360 controller http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=565651&view=findpost&p=8703997

If you want to assign accept to A during conversation....

In control MK, set button 0(A) to MOUSE_LEFT_CLICK

In the game, set A to "activate".

Keep all of your other settings the same.

Note: A will also be attack when not in conversation. I don't know of another way to do this right now.

If A is attack, as well, that would mean that your sword would be out whenever you're talking to someone, I think. Assuming that activate and attack work at the same time.

Also in ControlMk set Deadzone to 20.
